I only had a few minutes yesterday but snapped this Chickadee with my 20D and new 300mm F4L IS lens with 1.4X TC handheld. I can't wait to go back and spend an afternoon.

DuaneN Cream of the Crop  More info | This is a great capture and you were handholding the camera...even better! No advice from me either...I'd say keep doing what you're doing but I'm a rookie also.

May 03, 2008 06:55 | #4 Thanks guys. The background is a little blown out but I had to do that in order to see the eye. My PP skills are not where they need to be.

canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | May 03, 2008 07:40 | #7 Nice composition. You could have dialed in some negative exposure compensation. What post processing program do you use? If you shoot in RAW, you can fix some of the blown highlights, and it looks like it has a little bit of a green cast, which is easy to fix in RAW. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

I was surprised I was able to get that close. Must be used to people walking the trail there.

If you shoot in RAW, you can fix some of the blown highlights, and it looks like it has a little bit of a green cast, which is easy to fix in RAW. I did shoot RAW and I use Photoshop CS3. I actually boosted the exposure some because I could not see the eye. Not sure about the green cast. I am using an inexpensive ViewSonic LCS that has never been calibrated.

canonloader Cream of the Crop More info | May 04, 2008 15:02 | #10 It might be a reflection from the green, but in CS3 ACR, you can use the Temperature slider at the top to bump it more toward the blue side to cool it down. It may not help, but I would try that. I just click the little slider handle, then tap the down key 5 or 6 times. Usually all it takes. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
